actually i installed linux mint over windows on a friday evening and it wasn't that time consuming at all.
heh nice. Mint is great and easy to install. I like PopOS/debian depending on what im doing.
Remember when Microsoft said no Windows 11? https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-32658340
Such a money grab.
honestly the hardest part was realising microsoft had a dumb bitlocker thing and having to search for the key (thankfully it was in my microsoft account)
That's my main reason for not pursuing a VM version yet. While I rarely go into the WIndows side now, I don't want anything to show a different usage and give them a reason to lock the Windows part. I ran into something like that a few years ago, had to go through all sorts of validation with the Microsoft account to get things running right again. Wow, it almost sounds like holding the computer hostage.
